I’m a big fan of using the fediverse as a means of establishing our digital sovereignty 🇨🇦. I live in Winnipeg Manitoba, Canada and tend to post mostly about local stuff, but I’m also interested in tech stuff too.

  • @Rocketpoweredgorilla very cool. I wonder why they changed it from ‘Sunny Manitoba’ to ‘Friendly Manitoba’ (maybe they’ll eventually change it back if they decide that people here aren’t friendly enough lol).

    Is this part of a personal collection?

  • @prodigalsorcerer yeah speaking of corruption in ontario, duggies new legislation on FOI requests is actually wild. I hope that somehow manages to not make it thru

  • @prodigalsorcerer @tooclose104 that’s what BC was saying for a while. That they had to wait for the states in the Western US to do it. But eventually BC just pulled the trigger and did it without them

  • @humanspiral this is what China does. It should be like 4 or 5 timezones or smthg but they only use one: their Eastern-most timezone. From what I understand though the locals in the Western provinces don’t really use the official time in their day to day. They still stick to the old, unofficial timezones. I think that shows that even if we did have one coordinated global timezone people wouldn’t necessarily use it

  • @alsimoneau That’s interesting. Intuitively it makes a lot of sense that it would prevent crime, so I never questioned the idea.

  • @Reannlegge yeah I’ve heard about how there is an increase in heart attacks and car accidents after you set the clocks forward an hour. But apparently there is actually a decrease in heart attacks and car accidents when you set the clocks forward an hour, so it cancels out in the end. Not that that’s a good reason to stick with the time change though! At the very least we’ve got to make sure we don’t confuse the cows

  • @loonmusic this is a good idea. Especially since I can see both sides of the argument here. Standard time is apparently better for our health but having an extra hour in the evening with daylight time could be good for the economy extend the window of time when people go out and do things. It may even prevent crime in the same way that proper street lighting prevents crime. So splitting the difference Newfoundland style seems like a good compromise.

  • @FlareHeart if it’s the worse option then I wonder why everywhere keeps going for it (BC and the Yukon too). My guess is that it’s partially for economic reasons. Most people are out and about in the evening, so by allowing for an extra hour of sunlight in the evening you open the window of time when people will engage in economic activities. This could have indirect health benefits through increased employment or something, who knows.
